Irving Street

Irving Street is a street in London, England, named for the actor and political activist Sir Henry Irving. In 1876, the "Beefsteak Club" was invented as an after-theatre club for well-to-do theatregoers, and Rab Butler, Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, Robert Baden-Powell, Roy Jenkins, and Harold Macmillan were among the Beefsteak Club members who met at Irving Street. By the 21st century, Irving Street was home to several Italian restaurants.
